  3. Zoom account (kids below age 18 need to use their parent’s Zoom account)

DAY 1:

  • Introduction to Digital Photography
  • Cameras, Lenses & Accessories
  • Working & Understanding of your camera

We begin the online workshop, with Samantha Ross your instructor welcoming all participants and will present an introduction to digital photography to help your child understand the basics such as camera formats, megapixels, understanding your camera body, lenses, focal length and camera accessories. 

DAY 2:

  • The Program Dial
  • Introduction to Exposure

Now that your child  has a good grasp of the basics, we will turn to the core aspect of photography – EXPOSURE. We will briefly discuss the exposure triangle and exposure program modes.

Once they have completely understood both the modes, we close the day giving the students a small assignment for the next day.

DAY 3:

  • Mastering Exposure
  • Exposure Compensation
  • The Right Camera Mode

Today is all about mastering Aperture, Shutter, ISO and Exposure Compensation using the various program modes such as Manual, Aperture priority and Shutter priority. Your child will certainly have a better grasp of photography and feel more confident with their cameras after this session.

We end day one of the workshop with some invaluable tips and tricks.

DAY 4:

  • Bulb Mode
  • Focussing
  • Depth of Field

We will first bring everyone up to speed by summarising the previous day’s sessions before we begin to learn all there is to know about metering and then focussing, where we will provide instruction on manual focus, autofocus, autofocus points and focus modes.

Your child will now be taught how to master photographing in the dark with a fun session on low light and night photography. Using the bulb mode, your child will love learning about light painting and all that it needs to take to practice star trail photography, lightning photography etc. 

It’s time for a topic that everyone finds quite fascinating – depth of field (DOF). Your child will learn about the various aspects that influence depth of field and learn how to capture images with a shallow or deep depth of field.

They are again given a small assignment for the next day before ending the session.

DAY 5:

  • Composition
  • White-Balance
  • Sharpness
  • Filters
  • Camera maintenance

We will also present some of our finest images and talk about composition, and help your child showcase their work a lot more efficiently.

As the workshop winds to a close, we will help your child understand topics such as sharpness, image stabilization, white balance, using filters, best practices of photography, cleaning and maintenance and buying equipment.

We will clear everyone’s doubts with a question-and-answer session and a final rendezvous before bidding adieu.

Have questions about this workshop?

We hope you'll find your answers here.

Who is this workshop for?

Any child, teen or young adult between the ages of 11 and 14 is welcome to enrol for this workshop. There are no other eligibility criteria, just a passion to learn photography.

My child is older or younger than 11 and 14. Can an exception be made?

The age group of the children has been carefully chosen keeping in mind the content and style of delivery. However, if your child is outside the age group and you’re interested in admitting him or her, please talk to us.

How do I make the payment?

We have multiple payment options available from which you may choose one as per your convenience. Details will be shared when we receive your enquiry.

How many participants can be expected to attend?

A maximum of 30 students are expected. The Outback Experience’s USP is to provide as much individual attention and quality time to each participant as possible and thus the workshop strength has been kept low. We do not cater to very large groups per batch!

What are the requisites for the Workshop?

Having your own camera is strongly recommended, since we’ll have practical exercises for all the discussed topics. This camera should ideally be a Digital SLR (DSLR) or a Mirrorless camera, to make the most out of the workshop. In case you do not have a DSLR or Mirrorless, a point-and-shoot camera with manual controls will also suffice. 

As this is a virtual/online interactive workshop, you must have good internet.

The workshop will be taking place over Zoom Conference calls.
